9 THRONES

CHAPTER 114: MURDER

In the Wood Sword Academy, everyone can fight no matter where they are. Since the new rules from Tardi as the new academy head, the students no longer needed to head to the academy arena to fight each other.

The reason Tardi did so so that each match can start and end as soon as possible, many people agree on the idea of Tardi.

However, the fight does not need to be done in the arena which makes people not have to spend time waiting to arrive there.

Therefore, the arena that many people used to go to in order to practice fighting each other against other disciples, had now become empty.

But today there was a huge difference, hundreds of disciples from all over the Wood Sword Academy gathered in the audience seats on the arena, the, they stared at the arena in the midst of excitement and curiosity because everyone knew that today was the last day Vann fought against Horge's followers.

Horge's strongest follower had the strength of a tier 2 Gold Core, he had heard the news of Gordou's defeat yesterday which made getting ready against Vann today.

The one Vann had to fight in the next fight was a 1.7-meter-tall man with sharp eyes and a silver spear in his hand, he stood still on the spot while closing his eyes which showed he was waiting for Vann.

Since morning, he has been coming here. Even he spread the news about himself who will fight in the arena, because the news he spread so many people who came to watch here.

Other than the man who was Vann's opponent, the silver masked teacher had already been present in the arena from this morning.

After he reports to Tardi, the new academy chief makes the decision he must better supervise Vann. As long as Vann actually managed to evolve and defeat Horge, Tardi did not mind developing Vann to become increasingly powerful using the resources of the Wood Sword Academy.

But if Vann does not succeed in defeating Horge, it means that Vann's talent is not great enough that the academy must use all their resources for Vann.

After all Tardi was planning to make the strongest younger generation of the Talper Province, defeating Yun Fa who now held the title.

So Tardi enough to hope Vann can win because he is still young, at the age of 30, Vann has a great possibility to reach Soul Wandering or stronger again.

As the audience grew crowded and the day approached noon, Vann still did not come which made some viewers doubt whether Vann would come or not.

Not only that, some people began to assume whether Vann was actually afraid to the point of not daring to come here.

No matter what, the strength of tier 1 and tier 2 Gold Core was different. Vann was able to defeat a tier 1 Gold Core, but that did not mean he could still defeat a tier 2.

When many people doubted whether Vann would come or not, Vann's figure was finally seen coming to the fighting arena.

Vann climbed onto the arena stage without wasting much more time.

Actually Vann did not plan to come late, but rather he did not know the enemy had been waiting for him in the arena from the morning.

After all last night, Vann was busy increasing his strength to a tier 1 Gold Core so he had absolutely no idea about the enemy waiting for him in the arena.

Therefore Vann searched for a level 2 Gold Core man for some time before finally meeting Torti who told him about the fight in the arena.

Knowing Vann was coming, the man opened his eyes which showed sharpness.

He picked up the silver spear he had placed at the side while waiting for Vann "You're coming late enough, are you busy practicing to the point that you should be late? Whatever the reason, I don't care! Since you dared to come here, you are my enemy, don't blame me if the spear in my hand hurts you!".

Vann drew his sword while smiling "It's a fight, it's not strange if someone gets hurt. On the contrary, you also must not blame me if my sword gives you a heavy wound!".

2 people stared at each other while the spectators around closed their mouths. Although there were hundreds of spectators there, it was silent as if there were no people.

The silver mask teacher raised his hand before shouting "The fight is starting!".

In front of everyone's eyes, Vann's opponent's figure disappeared.

When he appeared again, he was right in front of Vann while slashing his spear.

"But!".

The sound of iron collisions rang out, Vann holding the enemy's spear using his sword.

Suddenly a powerful silver aura emerged from the enemy's spear, it exerted a great pressure on Vann.

Most of the spectators had to close their eyes because the silver light was too bright, but neither Vann nor the silver mask teacher was at all disturbed due to their higher cultivation compared to most of the spectators.

Streams of water gathered on Vann's sword, he used his 5 Element Sword technique.

The sound of the collision continued to sound, Vann's water sword colliding against each other against the enemy's silver spear.

As time went on, everyone found Vann's position superior.

Each time their weapons collided with each other, the enemy would be knocked back by Vann's water sword.

When the enemy finds out he is unable to win from Vann, he decides to jump back while keeping his distance from Vann while he thinks of a new way of defeating Vann.

But Vann certainly found out what he was thinking, because it was Vann stabbing his stomach without hesitation.

"Shelf!".

The enemy was slightly unprepared for Vann's attack, he spewed out a mouthful of blood from Vann's wooden sword blow before being thrown 10 meters away.

Fortunately Vann was wearing a wooden sword, if Vann had used his artifact sword, the man might have died.

Vann knew the fight was not over, he rushed towards his opponent who was trying to stand up.

Looking at the approaching Vann, his opponent released the spear in his hand to the ground before raising his hand with a bitter smile "I give up! Who would have thought you managed to become a tier 1 Gold Core! With the strength of a level 8 Qi Fondation, you were able to defeat a level 1 Gold Core. It is not strange that your tier 1 Gold Core power can defeat even tier 3, let alone a tier 2 like me!".

Knowing the opponent had surrendered, Vann kept his sword.

As the silver mask master was ready to shout Vann victory, his face changed.

A golden arrow covered in poison flew rapidly towards Vann, the arrow was a high rank 2 artifact with a hidden ability that made the silver mask master too late to notice.

He is ready to move to protect Vann, but the silver mask teacher realizes he is a step too late, the arrow will kill Vann first before he can catch him.

Vann realized the existence of the golden arrow a few seconds slower than the silver mask teacher due to Vann's power under the teacher.

When Vann turned around, he found the golden arrow was at a distance of less than 1 meter to himself. Even if Vann tries to evade, he doesn't have enough time left.
